Control phone with your voice

Speak a command

Not all languages support voice commands.

Tell your phone to call people, get directions, send messages, set alarms. The possibilities are enormous.

  1. From the home screen or when you've started a search, say “OK, Google.”

  2. When the phone responds, say the command (for example, “Call Elise” or “Set alarm for 7 AM tomorrow”).

  3. Some commands cause your phone to speak a response to you. To stop the phone from speaking, touch .
